Two Dolphins Leaping Up to Play With Beach Ball

Two dolphins arch through the air around a striped beach ball floating at the top of the page. The dolphin on the right curves its body back with its snout pointed up toward the ball, and its flipper and tail sweep out below it. The dolphin on the left twists the opposite way, with its nose tilted upward and its tail fluke at the bottom of the page. A few water droplets fall between them, one near the ball and one beside the right dolphin's tail. The outlines are clean and the sections are fairly large, so younger kids can color without much trouble. Try giving the ball bright panels in different colors, then shade the dolphins in two different blues or grays so you can tell the bodies apart where they overlap. The printable page also works well for a quick lesson on ocean animals and how dolphins play.
